The team at CR1-Software have put together a wonderful package containing a fabulous recreation of the Beechcraft Model 18, which is perhaps better known as the 'Twin Beech'. It is available as an immediate download for Microsoft's Flight Simulator X and 2004, so you can have your very own copy of this well respected aircraft in your virtual hangar in no time flat. While primarily used as a trainer and utility aircraft, the Twin Beech is a very capable aircraft that can be used to fill almost any role.

This Twin Beech boasts highly detailed model that was created using Rhino 3D, a very powerful piece of modeling software. It uses nurbs instead of polygons, allowing for more realistic curves and surfaces. A beautiful dynamic shine lends a cinematic layer to the aesthetics of the aircraft, and looks great when paired with any of the nine included liveries. These vary enough in both color and design that there should be something to suit everybody's tastes.

A large array of animations help the aircraft feel like a part of the simulated environment, and flesh out the visuals without some good attention to detail, including wheel rotation, flaps, tail wheel and shock absorber animations. As well as some special additions, like reflective glass and weather effects that help improve the visual fidelity even more.

A fully dynamic virtual cockpit features complete mouse click-able operations and a choice between vintage gauges or modern gauges, offering you maximum realism as well as further customization of the aesthetics. You can get even more out of the virtual cockpit thanks to two 2D panels, each with four pop-up panels. From inside the cockpit you can really get the most of the new, world-class flight dynamics that make this Twin Beech feel just like the real thing with regards to performance, characteristics and behavior. Great sounds and a stunning Wasp Junior engine really work well in bringing all the other aspects of the Twin Beech together into one, cohesive experience.

Offering good reliability and strong customization with an extensive operation manual, painter kit and panel kit, CR1-Software have put enough into this add-on to keep you going for ages.
